A 72-year-old man died after a youngster jumped on him from a height in a swimming pool in Mumbai, a police official said.

The tragic incident took place on Sunday evening at Ozon swimming pool in the city’s Goregaon area.

The dead, identified as Vishnu Samant, was swimming when a 20-year-old man jumped into the pool and landed on him, the official said.
